Product Description for the Hughes & Kettner Statesman Dual EL34 Vintage Head

Either/ or was yesterday; today you can have both the crystal-clear sound of an open-back combo and the rock roar of a classic half-stack with these dual-channel amps. Other hip features include an Accutronics® spring reverb, a footswitchable effects loop, and Twang and Boost switches.

The 20-watt Statesman Dual EL84 and 40-watt Quad EL 84 pump brawny rock tones ranging from assertive to angry into a 12" Eminence® RockDriver Cream speaker. In spirit and in substance, this is the kind of voicing people have been grooving to since the early ‘60s.

The Statesman Dual 6L6 is tweaked for styles calling for clean sounds that stay pristine even at high volumes, with the occasional foray into crunch territory for good measure. But don’t let all that headroom fool you, the Dual 6L6 can rock out with the best of them. 60 tube-driven watts and two 12" RockDriver Eminence® speakers will be happy to help you to a harder-hitting tone. Dedicated three-band EQs for the Clean and Overdrive channels afford you utmost flexibility.

If you take the stage with a full or half stack, you probably want to raise a real ruckus. That’s why the 50-watt Statesman Dual EL34 Head is the most aggressively voiced amp of this series. Its mission statement can be summed up in two words – let’s rock! Like the Dual 6L6, it sports dedicated channel EQs and a three-way footswitch.

All Statesman models are available in oxblood and in black.
